Why Obama should be worried: Among white voters in Florida: Clinton 60%, Obama 16% (SUSA)
You should have no doubt that if the white voters continues to support Clinton as it has done in Florida, where 60% (15% for Obama) support Clinton accoring to the latest Survey USA poll, he's in trouble.
The whole point of having strong black support is to add that to Obama's strong (or as we now know, not as strong) support among whites.
But now the story changes. Obama needs to cover both ends, because there are many more Whites than blacks in the primaries.

He has to do something about that. Maybe that's why he's been praising Reagan.

2. The west isn't the south
He does fine with the white vote in the rest of the country. Check Iowa, rural NV and NH.

4. Who cares about Florida?
Nobody's campaigning or running there except for the GOP.

9. Clinton does well in all the states where the camapigns aren't active.
When people get to know both candidates better then Obama always done better. That has been the case in every early primary state where Clinton had big leads early on.

11. Welcome to DU! And yes....that big gap will look bad.
Though the delegates are still suspended, the MSM will still be covering the FL results. And a huge FL win for Hillary would be very bad for Obama nationally.
